Mo State Fair Looking For Those Who Proudly Served!

The Fair is accepting nominations for their Veteran/Active Military Honoree of the Day. The public can nominate an active military member or veteran by filling out a form on the Missouri State Fair website and returning it to the Fair.

Nomination forms are available via the Missouri State Fair website here. The Missouri State Fair asks that the form be filled out as thoroughly as possible, as the information submitted will be used by a panel of judges to select the eleven nominees.

There are a few other details regarding this honor. Nominees must be Missouri residents and available to attend one of the eleven days of the 2024 Missouri State Fair between August 8 - August 18. Completed nomination forms must be submitted via email or mailed to The Missouri State Fair, Attn: Flag Retreat Committee. The deadline to submit nominations is May 27, 2024.
